Contextual Overview

1 And it came to pass, when we set sail, having torn ourselves from them, running a straight course, we came unto Cos, and, on the next day, unto Rhodes, - and from thence unto Patara; 2 and, finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, going on board, we set sail. 3 And, sighting Cyprus, and leaving it behind to the left, we held on our voyage to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for, there, the ship was to discharge her cargo. 4 And, finding up the disciples, we remained there seven days, and they, unto Paul, began to say, through the Spirit, that he would gain no footing in Jerusalem. 5 And, when it came to pass that we had completed the days, we went forth, and continued our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city; and, kneeling down on the beach in prayer, 6 we tare ourselves from each other, and we went on board the ship, while, they, returned unto their homes. 7 And, we, finishing the voyage from Tyre, reached Ptolemais, and, saluting the brethren, abode one day with them;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when we had taken our leave one of another,.... The Alexandrian copy reads, "having prayed, we saluted one another"; with a kiss, as in Acts 20:37 and so parted:

we took ship; or went aboard the ship,

and they returned home again; to their own houses, as the Syriac version renders it; for by "their own", as it is in the Greek text, cannot be meant their families, their wives, and children, for these were along with them, but their habitations; see John 16:32.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 21:6. Taken - leave — ασπασαμενοι; Having given each other the kiss of peace, as was the constant custom of the Jews and primitive Christians.

They returned home — That is, the men, their wives, and their children.
